Celeste
Call me snickelfritz! ...German, for “rowdy child”. It was a nickname given to me at the tender age of 11 by an old friend of the family; he swore it was a term of endearment! 19 years later, and the term still fits. And quite well, I might add!
I’m your typical serving of of rowdy,…with a shot of social grace, and a dash of compassion – all on one plate!
A mommy to an ever-growing 7 year old and fiance to a phenomenal man, I am happily lost in this beautiful bliss of chaos called life.
I live for…
…chaotic mornings and bedtimes with my sweet sweet baby boy! (he’s not a baby anymore; I know. but he is MY baby!)
…blissful disagreements with my imperfectly perfect fiancee (oh yeah, I’m engaged. AHH!)
…and days full of silliness on the job with my most favorite siblings (my only siblings! hEE hEE)! With my brother at JD’s Farm and Ranch and with my sister at Then Comes Paper.
